He had his breakthrough by winning the 4th season of 'Idol' (Norway) in May 2006. He has often been described as one of the few people associated with this contest to actually have something to offer the world in terms of music.
Pre-Idol: WimpyLime was an unsigned project Aleksander and his former girlfriend, Vivian Sørmeland (who came third in Idol (Norway) Season 4) were a part of from the summer of 2004 until Idol in 2006. WimpyLime wrote all of their material as a group and together could play the keyboard, piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Aleksander and Vivian were the band's lead vocalists. Only two demos clips have leaked from WimpyLime's recorded catalog, one titled "Southern Skies" and another titled "The Secret". Members: Vivian Sørmeland, Aleksander With, Olav S. Flaa, Arne Fredrik Lånke
All Right
Aleksander With Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just hanging in the wind.
A big surprise, so unexpected out of nowhere,
I'm ready to begin.
I didn′t know, I didn't have a clue.
Just killing time and finding myself falling in to you.
You took my song and played it so right, so right.
I was singing but out of tune.
You came along and made it all right, all right.
Sitting around, doing nothing with an attitude
A trip that must go wrong.
It's not profound, it happens all the time in books and movies
And bad top-twenty songs.
I didn′t know it was coming through, just killing time
And here I am falling into you.
You came along and made it all right, all right.
You took my song and played it so right, so right.
I was singing but out of tune.
You came along and made it all right, all right.
All right, all right... yeah!
You came along and made it all right, all right.
You took my song and played it so right, so right.
I was singing but out of tune.
You came along and made it all right, all right.
You took my song and played it so right, so right.
I was singing but out of tune.
You came along and made it all right, all right.
All right, so right!
All right.
The lyrics to Aleksander With's song "All Right" describe a feeling of unexpected love that has made everything better. The song starts with the idea of taking a ride and going downhill without any restrictions, just being in the moment, and then a big surprise happens when he falls in love with someone unexpectedly. The idea of being ready to begin shows that he's open and willing to let his feelings flow. The chorus highlights how this person has made him feel - they've taken his song (life) and played it so right, everything is just perfect. The writer didn't know what was coming; he was just killing time and finding himself falling in love with someone.
The second verse starts with sitting around and doing nothing with an attitude, implying the writer was maybe feeling a bit down or uninterested in life. The trip that must go wrong is a reference to something that's bound to happen - maybe falling in love was the thing that was supposed to go wrong. But despite that, it turned out to be the best thing that happened to him. The lyrics mention books and movies, pointing out that we often have preconceived notions of what romantic love should look like - however, it's not always profound or poetic. The bridge and final chorus reiterate how this person has come into his life and made everything all right.

And it’s still alright..
It ain't alright, the hardness of my head,
Now close your eyes, and spin aroun
Say, hard times you could find,
That it ain't the way that you want,
But it's still alright.
Late at night, do you lay around wondering?
Counting all the lines, it ain't so funny now
Say, times are hard, you get this far
But it ain't the way that you want
I'll be damned if this old man
Don't start to counting his losses
But it's still alright
They say you learn a lot out there
How to scorch and burn
Gonna have to bury your friends
And then you'll find it gets worse
Standing out on the ledge
With no way to get down
Start praying for wings to grow
Oh, baby, just let go
I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
It was cold outside when I hit the ground
Say, I could sleep here, forget all the fear
It will take time to grow
Maybe, I don't know
Hey, tonight, if you think about it again
Remembering all the times that you pointed out
Say, the glass is clear, but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark
Your idle hands are all that stands
From your time in the dark
But it's still alright
